Brittany Murphy’s mom gets everything

Brittany Murphy’s apparently executed a will years before she married Simon Monjack which leaves everything to her mother Susan Murphy, according to TMZ:

The house Brittany owned and died in was held in trust — a trust created several years before she met Monjack. He is not listed on the title.
We do not know if Murphy amended her will after she was married. So far we have no evidence Murphy drafted a codicil (amendment) to the will.

Granted, Brittany Murphy had enough money to pay off her husband’s debts at the beginning of their marriage, how much could she honestly be worth right now? She really hasn’t done anything lately and I doubt Brittany made millions doing “Faster Kill Pussycat” with Paul Oakenfold. But if she did, somebody tell a famous DJ I’m awesome at talking over shit, too. Just ask the guy who sat in front of me during Avatar last night. Tell me not to have phone sex read The Nativity Story out loud before Christmas… Why do you hate America?!

@#5 – You comments assume that the estate transfers pursuant to a will and probate. Would not the grantor of a revocable trust be able to designate benficiaries without running a foul of statutory resrtictions. Additionally, I am sure that her estate attorney’s contemplated some amount to be paid to the husband…i.e. $100,000 or some other nominal sum. I find it hard ot believe those slick LA ambulance chasers would drop the ball like that.

My favorite lawyer joke…

A guy walks into a bar and starts screaming, “All lawyers are assholes. All lawyers are assholes. All lawyers are assholes.” Another guy walks up to him and says, “Hey, I take offense to that,” The first guy says, “Why? are you a lawyer?” Second guy says, “No, I’m an asshole.”

Uh, try doing some reasearch before writing a story. While not a fan, I do know that Brittany Murphy continued to be the voice of Luanne on “King of the Hill”, and was earning over $150,000 a voiceover episode. She was making over $3,000,000 a year on that alone; that may not be much to you jaded hollywood types, but that’s a SHITLOAD of money in my book. Her lying con-artist husband didn’t get any of that, and her residuals (which will be worth millions for years to come) will go to her mom as well. Bottom line – her scumbag con-artist husband lost MILLIONS by not being listed in her will. Just shows that crime does NOT pay…

Good for her. High or not, she took care of her family. Hopefully this will help shut down some of the speculation surrounding her untimely departure. I know for a fact, she was charming, well spoken, and a great voiceover artist. Now I know she was a devoted daughter as well. Sorry for your loss Mother Murphy, you raised a great kid.
Rest in peace Sweet Luanne, tell Buckley I said Hi.

pretty sure this is a rip of of some shit dance tune called The way she moves, well that the lyrics anyway. Oakenfold – your old and shit, everytime i`ve seen you, you play good tunes but mix like my 90yr old granmother who has parkinsons.

she was more than wealthy, she was making bank, she on King of the Hill for 13 seasons, plus what King of the HIll will make in syndication, her mom is set for life, superficial dude, you have no clue what you’re talking about
